Strebre knew the rule.
It was applied wrong.
No one up there in the box abusing him.
He just got it wrong.
If you stand in a wall and raise your arms and leave them there 30 seconds before a free kick is taken and the ball hits the arm is it a free kick?Quote:

The defender probably couldn’t get his arms out of the way because the ball was travelling so quick.
I’d call handball, the intention is to use the arms to create an advantage.Quote:

Time for Fux sports to come up with some new blood in Commentary team . I got no problem with them expressing opinion on the game on The Sunday Show or A League hour type shows but when when it comes to calling the game i wish Slats and co would leave there Arnold bum loving bromance at home. There interpretation of the rules at times to favor there favorites is deplorable.
Game has massive issues at the moment with FFA and Fux doing it no justice whatsoever.

What are your thoughts on Birighiti red card from a few seasons ago when he comes out and handballs it outside his box. Handball or not?
Not only that but the rule even says...Quote:

As Ned said - "Topor wasn't pogoing at a Daft Punk concert...where else do his arms go". Respect to him as he knows the rule and was the only pundit to say it was an "unexpected ball" - which is the rule.
In live play, I don’t think it appears a hand ball given the context of the “pinball”. Play on.
Should the VAR get involved. It’s reviewing a potential penalty.
The replays make it look far worse. His arm moving as/after the ball strikes it into the arm gives the impression his arm is hitting the ball. Idk, I think the replays make it look worse because it removes the context and the speed from the equation.
On the whole, I don’t have too many issues with it. See those contentious calls everywhere. My gripe would be that the on field referees deemed it acceptable. If that was a Wanderers player I think we’d be pretty hard done by not to get a pen.
Suarez made a thing of flicking the ball up into defenders hands. In the process of trying to move their hand out of the way it makes it look like they move to the ball.
The only time your arms are by your sides are when you are standing still. Any other movement means your arms will move...walking, running, jumping, kicking a football....there is no "unnatural "position...unless you are breakdancing on the field.
If that was Roy charging down Thwaite and it pinged off Roy into Thwaites hand i couldnt give a **** if it was no penaltyQuote:

Though in saying all this there was this Aston Villa player back in about ‘96 who’s arm was in an unnatural position and no on field penalty was given...just a fine....maybe that’s what bozza keeps referring to.Quote:

But I've no idea how to enlarge the pond (make refereeing more attractive).
Bozzas just bitter that as a keeper other non keeper cunce are using their handsQuote:

They didn't go down that path.
Amazingly though Bozza did say that Nabbs goal was better than Ninkos - which seemed to take Peacock aback a bit.
Yep. Obvious howler was the only reason provided by the FFA for the use of the VAR and the fact so many pundits can't make up there mind on NTS incident means it didn't come anywhere near this definition.Quote:
